Re: 72 K30 Build
Done, yea just a bit biased on this one, I think about 4 winners though for workmanship.

Re: 72 K30 Build
For rgreathouse...
Here’s some ugly pics of a cool Longhorn Highlander 4x conversion w/14b and a sweet sway bar setup that was for sale a few years ago. Really, really liked this truck and tried to buy it at that time. It’s setup to haul a big camper level, check out those u-bolts. Knew we weren't going to run overloads and didn't want the truck to squat with load, so the later setup seemed right for us.

Re: 72 K30 Build
They sure wanted a lot for that orange truck. I had thought real hard about trying to get it. I'm pretty sure that sway bar is from a P-30 chassis camper. I have a 10 bolt D70HD from one with the same type of sway bar.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Mike! I'm digging it also...
![]() Thank you Mike, how's that new truck treating you? Thanks Scott! A few years back I fell pretty hard for a fellow members truck. Here's a link and pics of Justin's truck (1972 Black Cheyenne Super Big Block - JWall http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...486244&page=14), it's sold now but is still a big inspiration for our C10.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Truck looks great Brett! You could always run the c/k30 sway bar on this as well. It is made to fit a 14bolt or Dana 70.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Ray looks sweet with a trailer behind him! That grill on what looks to be a model A is sweet. I really love that pic. A Daytona or superbird, and a 54ish corvette gasser? So much awesome there. The C10 will be awesome. Is the Camaro done already?

Re: 72 K30 Build
I had the opportunity to see this truck in person last night.
All I can say is it is amazing. There is so much detail that you miss through pictures. |

Re: 72 K30 Build
Thanks Zane, I appreciate the compliment. Also, gotta say it is pretty darn kool to meet someone that has followed this build thread!
![]() Stopped and took a couple more pics of Ray bringing the shorty back from its gap & seal date with CBR. Kuddos to Chad and his guys Spencer & Brandon they did a great job!

Re: 72 K30 Build
Another summer came and went and unfortunately, we ended up winterizing the K30 a little early this year also. With only about 1500 miles on the clock, I’d hoped to drive it more but it just wasn’t in the cards. We did get to use the truck some this year, mainly just running up and down the highway (300 miles is all) pulling the car trailer. Here are some pics of it doing truck stuff including saving Mrs. 7dee2’s commuter car (her Old Blue). That little car keeps the miles low on our 2017 Chevrolet SS.

Re: 72 K30 Build
Very detailed post on a beautiful build. That is a truck that will turn heads for a long time to come. Plus it looks like factory. And may I say that you have skills.
